Maui Komohana

The West Maui Mountains, West Maui Volcano, or Mauna Kahālāwai which means "holding house of water," is approximately 1.7 million years old and forms a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western quarter of Maui. Since its last eruption approximately 320,000 years ago, the West Maui Mountains have undergone substantial stream erosion. ʻĪao Valley, a popular attraction within the West Maui Mountains, is accessible from Wailuku.

The three moku of West Maui are Lahaina, Kāʻanapali, and Wailuku. Wailuku is also known as "Pūʻalikomohana", or "Nā Wai ʻEhā". The port of Lahaina lies on the southwestern slope.
